Longest Serving?

The Falklands War was 33 years ago, and the (first) Gulf War was nearly 25 years ago.

This got me thinking - is anyone from these conflicts left serving, or from perhaps even earlier ones?

I ask because I saw Alastair Bruce (Sky News correspondent) is a TA Brigadier, having served in the Scots Guards in the Falklands War. What other long serving veterans are still serving in regular, TA or NRPS roles?

I knew a Para in the careers office in Southampton that had served in the Falklands - I believe he's still serving on some sort of FTRS contract. I'm sure there are plenty of GW1 vets still serving as well - probably LEs now.

There are plenty of old Retired Majors cutting about that would have you believe they're still serving.

Me ... In the nurse's dorm at 3am ... With my reputation? Has no one thought of the consequences?

One of the 4 PARA guys attached to 2 PARA on Herrick 13 had been in the Falklands, I think he was a re-joiner at the rank of LCpl. Not sure if he is still in, if it's the same chap @The_Duke is referring to he has gone great guns to get from LCpl to WO2 in the last 4 years.
